15- Saffron Prevents Heart Disease
Heart disease is a serious condition that can have severe consequences for your health. But there’s good news: research has shown that saffron may help lower your risk of heart disease.
A recent study found that consuming it may help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels, as well as act as an antioxidant to protect against oxidative stress. By reducing these risk factors associated with heart disease, it could be a powerful tool in preventing this illness. The study involved giving participants either a placebo or a supplement containing saffron extract over 12 weeks; those who took the supplement showed improved results on all three measures compared to those taking the placebo. The authors concluded that this suggested saffron’s potential for helping to prevent heart disease.
